qfjp, to privacy in Firefox's new FakeSpot integration: the privacy problems

I didn’t know about otter, I was just starting to look for more since I miss the days of uzbl and all its inspirations. As far as I can tell, qute is the only one that survived

FYI, the new midori looks like a shameless clone of floorp. The only differences I can find are the default bookmarks and that floorp updates faster.

qfjp, to asklemmy in why do lemmy users hate the use of emojis ?

If anything, I would guess probably reddit since it kind of evolved from the early forums where it came from. Twitter has (had?) a much larger userbase though, so that’s not a bad guess either. 🤷‍♂️

Where the hell did you get HTML from? /s is a tag literally made to denote that a given text is sarcastic. It’s one of the few good things to come out of Twitter?

…that is much older than Twitter:

This symbol is an abbreviated version of the earlier /sarcasm, itself a simplification of <\sarcasm>, the form of a humorous XML closing tag marking the end of a “sarcasm” block.

It’s so much more obvious to make a statement sound insane or to use /s.

Also, would most of the world even interpret that emoji as “eye rolling?”

You only interpret ‘\s’ as sarcasm because of html and sarcasm beginning with the letter ‘s’. If you don’t think pictorial eye-rolling ‘looks’ like sarcasm, just consider it almost like hieroglyphs.

qfjp, to technology in What is the best version of Firefox in android?

Different commenter, but I’m on android 13 and private browsing works just fine for me. Private links are kept in a separate ‘group’ from normal tabs, and you’re given the option to choose if you long press on a link.

qfjp, to piracy in Ffmpeg - fast but bad results, handbrake - slow but good results

It’s hard to know for sure, but I’m guessing if you’re forcing hevc_nvenc in ffmpeg then handbrake is using libx265. Nvidia’s encoder rips through files, but that speed comes at the cost of bigger file sizes. libx265 uses the cpu so it’ll be much slower, but you’ll probably see files 30% smaller. As for audio, you could always try -c:a copy as an option for ffmpeg. I don’t actually use handbrake myself, so I don’t know how to directly copy streams.

As a side note, if you don’t need to worry about licensing issues mp4 will compress much better than mkv.

qfjp, to piracy in Saikou - the best Anime streaming app on Android - got DMCA'd

i didn’t necessarily mean copyright holders could find you, i just meant you’re still at the mercy of the host (unless that host is you)

there are already many forges hosted through i2p, I imagine the same can be said for tor. That doesn’t mean the host can’t ban you there as well though.

qfjp, to asklemmy in What was the time a pet showed some serious signs of intelligence?

We have a cat that came from the breeder knowing how to play fetch. But more than that, he’s also very energetic and we don’t always have the time to play with him. One day I was particularly lazy, and instead of throwing stuff around the house I was just tossing the ball to him high in the air. Not only did he get that we were now playing “catch”, but later on I found him gripping the ball in his mouth and “flicking” it up in the air. Now, when he knows we can’t play with him, he essentially plays catch with himself.

This is exactly my experience as well. Same inciting incident.

After slavery, they were simply brutalized, raped, murdered, butchered without any protection whatsoever.

What exactly do you think masters did to “disobedient” slaves?
